Storing of experience at national level is capped at 500.

Commanders gain experience as the forces under their command engage in combat. There are no air commanders, however, air combat may generate Aces. Aces boosts the air group they are assigned to, and give the best bonus to small air groups. The listed bonuses for aces are the bonuses given for an air wing of 100 planes. Commanders have skill levels to indicate their gained experience. These skill levels affect four skills - Attack, Defence, Planning and Logistics. Each Skill Level of Army Commanders gives a flat bonus - +5% to Attack or Defence, +5% planning speed and +2% max planning, or -2% supply consumption respectively.

Exercising units in the field allows them to advance up to Regular experience level, at the cost of time and equipment. Higher levels can only be gained through combat, and naval units can only reach higher levels through combat.
